Crowsnest Pass

Crowsnest Pass lies along the Crowsnest River valley in southwestern Alberta, where the eastern slopes of the Canadian Rockies narrow around a long-established mountain transport corridor. The municipality brings together the former coal-mining communities of Bellevue, Blairmore, Coleman, Frank and Hillcrest, giving its main street districts a distinct industrial frontier history. At Frank, the 1903 collapse of Turtle Mountain created the Frank Slide, a vast rock-debris field that remains one of the region’s defining landmarks. Roads, rail lines and trailheads follow this passage toward British Columbia. Browse related webcams across southern Alberta to build a broader impression of Crowsnest Pass and the Rockies.
